Hen Harrier Day Online - 1 August 2021

This years Hen Harrier Day will be online.

Hen Harrier Action is proud to announce their latest event -  Hen Harrier Day Online will be on Sunday 1 August. The event will be hosted by David Lindo, the Urban Birder, and Lauren Cook, who won our Early Career Naturalist Challenge in 2020. Starting at 10 am, it will have a great mix of video, stories of rewilding and restoring nature to the uplands, competition results and more.

Lasting under two hours, you'll be able to dip in, dip out, watch all of it, or catch up later. It will be on the Hen Harrier Action YouTube channel immediately afterwards. Some of the sessions will include:

• Launch of the second "secret postcard" auction 
  
  

Hen Harrier Days are all about engaging a wider audience in the problems of our uplands. They do so by involving communities in celebrating one of the UK’s most beautiful, charismatic – and now rare – birds, the hen harrier. They are also an occasion to raise our voices against the main reason for that rarity – illegal persecution.
